You will make Steve's day by calling him. We all like to share what we think we know. Makes us seem important.

Wayne, that's funny!

Thanks Terry for the links. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Probably worth 2000 words these days...... Leon in Mn.

I'm pretty sure the one I have is a 'New Elgin' mill.

Glad that it helped answer some questions.

I think we're in need of a couple parts......

Thanks Wayne, for providing Steve's number. I called him last week and got a lot of info from him! It answered a LOT of questions about the model "A" Wonder mill me and my neighbor are working on getting back together. Yes, he is a wealth of knowledge, and I learned a few other things in the meantime. He sounded like a nice polite man to talk to, willing to share his knowledge for this project, and some of mine. You don't always get that these days. Also, thanks to windybob, and CTXmiller, Windcatcher530 Dan, and Terry for taking the time to download those manuals you shared with us. That really helped showing the illustrations and parts numbers! I did find the parts on the diagram we are missing to put this mill back together.

We are needing part #12 in the manual showing "shifting fork" also #57 Guide casting on (4 post tower top) also #65 angle iron guide rod that connects with #12.
If we (me and my neighbor) can't locate them, we'll have to improvise and maybe even "improve" on it.......again, thanks for your help! Leon in Mn.

Leon, you made a lots of people fell important. If I was having a bad day you would have made it better with your post. Good Luck.

Just giving payback to people who helped us.
